"It's more than just a lead; the matter has been thoroughly investigated and verified, and the evidence has been fully collected."

Water Buffalo's words left Lin Jie both surprised and delighted. He said, "Your efficiency is really impressive. Quickly, tell me more."

"After the boss received your request via a colleague's report, he directly ordered us to quickly and properly handle this issue, ensuring it doesn't affect your mood and work. How could we not give it our all?"

After this seemingly complaining, yet boastful statement, Water Buffalo continued, "What Li Chao mentioned does indeed exist."

"Led by Gao Qihua and Wei Zhifeng, and further facilitated by Hu Yitong, they contacted several people who were jealous of Lieutenant Colonel Lin's achievements, and together they plotted to have you selected for the 'Warmth Experts' group without informing you of the matter."

Lin Jie said angrily, "These people are truly despicable. If not for my luck, I would have been smeared by them."

"Comrade Water Buffalo, can you help me vent my anger?"

Water Buffalo's lighthearted voice came from the phone, "We've collected evidence of these people's misconduct and violations."

"Messing around in relationships, coercing and enticing patient families, covering up medical accidents, taking bribes, tax evasion, falsifying medical accident verification documents, abusing power, and so on."

"Most of these people have been involved in three or four similar deeds from the aforementioned list."

"We will compile this evidence, send it to the relevant authorities, and urge them to deal with it swiftly."

In a joyful mood, Lin Jie couldn't help but praise, "You are truly amazing."

"It's only been a day, and you've found so much."

Water Buffalo chuckled and said, "With the means we possess, the bad deeds they intentionally hid are as clear as the moon in the sky to us, obvious and straightforward."

"However, Lieutenant Colonel Lin, regarding Hu Yitong..."

He said somewhat apologetically, "He doesn't hold an official position, and the things he has done are borderline unlawful. Coupled with his age and physical condition, he's not easy for us to handle."

Thinking of the counterfeit drug issue, Lin Jie empathetically said, "I have my own ways of dealing with that old guy Hu Yitong."

"All I ask is that you take tough measures against Gao Qihua, Wei Zhifeng, and the others."

He then further added, "Comrade Water Buffalo, besides this matter, I have a few other enemies."

"For example, Qiao Hongzhen, who is still in Australia and hasn't returned to the country, and Luo Wantong of Binhai Wantong Group..."

Before he could finish speaking, Water Buffalo interrupted him, solemnly saying, "Lieutenant Colonel Lin, we are not an agency dedicated to solving personal problems for you, idling around with nothing to do."

"We have more important and urgent matters to attend to."

"Using department resources to assist you with this matter is already our limit."

Lin Jie realized he couldn't be too demanding and immediately said, "Understood, understood."

"I know, Comrade Water Buffalo, the work you do is related to national interests and security. I shouldn't trouble you with personal matters."

"Rest assured, in the future, I will strive to handle similar matters related to me on my own."

Water Buffalo's tone softened a bit and he said, "Lieutenant Colonel Lin, actually, you've long been on our radar."

"Let me put it this way, if there's ever a major issue involving you, or something that threatens your personal safety, we won't stand idly by..."

Shortly after Lin Jie hung up the phone, just as he was secretly pleased to have obtained a protective charm, Zhang Xiaoxiao came into the study to inform him of a visitor...

"Sister Shanshan, hello, it really has been a long time. You've become even more beautiful."

Lin Jie didn't expect the visitor to be Luo Shanshan.

He had already learned from Chen Qiuhua that Luo Shanshan had returned to the country.

After a few days without any news, Lin Jie thought, given Luo Wantong's situation, they might have ended up as strangers.

"It really has been a long time. Here's a gift I brought you from abroad."

Luo Shanshan handed Lin Jie a bottle of red wine, smilingly saying, "As the saying goes, 'When one hasn't seen a gentleman for three days, scrutiny is warranted.'"

"It's been about ten months since we've seen each other, and Lin Jie, the shock you've given me is quite profound."

She remarked with an exaggerated expression, "I knew you were impressive; I just didn't know you were this impressive. Even the world-renowned Dr. Maxwell personally acknowledged your prowess."

Lin Jie took the red wine and handed it to Zhang Xiaoxiao, inviting Luo Shanshan to sit down.

"The competition with Dr. Maxwell was just a stroke of luck. Sister Shanshan, your months of study abroad must have yielded great gains, right?"

Luo Shanshan sighed and said, "Not really, mostly interning and assisting the directors at two hospitals."

"The duration was too short, and there were too many things to learn, just picking up some basics in management."

Lin Jie gently smiled and said, "Upon returning, you can practice and apply what you've learned in the management at Phoenix Mountain Hospital. After a few months of honing your skills, you'll become proficient."

"Hopefully so."

Luo Shanshan sighed and said, "I am quite envious of you. You only need to focus on treating and saving lives, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

"My half-baked medical skills should not be allowed to delay patients."

Lin Jie agreed, "Managing hospital affairs well, creating a good and comfortable order and environment for doctors and patients, is a great achievement, and not an easy task."

"Have you come into contact with that director from Massachusetts General Hospital? How do you feel about him?"

"When I was in the United States, I worked with him for a few weeks."

"Lin Jie, you don't know, he's a very serious and conscientious guy."

Luo Shanshan said with a troubled expression, "Working under him in the future, I'll definitely be on edge, not daring to relax at all."

Lin Jie casually replied, "Being serious and conscientious is a good thing!"

Luo Shanshan took a sip of water from her teacup and suddenly said, "I heard Anlin Hospital signed Dr. Qi Xingfen?"

Lin Jie nodded, "Hmm, your information is really up to date! The work contract was just signed yesterday."

"Anlin Hospital is living frugally, hiring either overlooked doctors or those in the mainland who don't have very high demands. Not like you all, financially robust, directly hiring big-name doctors from abroad."

Luo Shanshan sneered, "Does Anlin Hospital still need to be frugal?"

"The Fu Family in Binhai and Young Master Ye in Capital City, even pulling out a leg hair, are thicker than Wantong Group."

Lin Jie explained, "They are just minor shareholders of the hospital, they contribute money according to their share. What really decides Anlin Hospital's financial limits is the An family's financial power."

"The An family's economic strength isn't small either, providing over a hundred million funds to Anlin Hospital every year is still doable."

Luo Shanshan looked at Lin Jie, somewhat enviously, "With your current reputation, once Anlin Hospital opens, it will surely attract patients from all over the country, even from around the world."

"I boldly guess, Anlin Hospital should be the first to achieve profitability in the Phoenix Mountain District."

Lin Jie smiled lightly, "That's hard to say."

"For a comprehensive hospital, it's supported by hundreds of medical personnel, the role one person can play is ultimately limited. Even if I were made of iron, how many nails could I drive?"

"Lin Jie, you are too modest, you definitely have the capability to support a hospital."

Luo Shanshan praised him, then changed the topic, pretending to be indignant, "I've seen Zhang Daya, even with a promise of double the salary, I couldn't lure her away."

"She said she had already accepted your job offer long ago. This doesn't take into account our past friendship at all."

Lin Jie said somewhat smugly, "As far as I know, she has always been diligent and progressive at Donghua Hospital, having grown into an excellent surgical nurse."

"That's right, Zhang Daya came from the Zhujia Port clinic."

Mentioning the Zhujia Port clinic, Luo Shanshan said gloomily, "The villagers in Zhujia Port are still talking about how good you are."

"Saying your diagnoses were always accurate."

"Unlike those two guys now, who can treat an ordinary cold into pneumonia."

"As soon as the condition worsens slightly, they just push the patient to the hospital. Compared to this, those two guys are downright lousy..."

In this way, Luo Shanshan and Lin Jie casually talked about their familiar people and familiar things.

It was almost eleven thirty when Luo Shanshan checked the time and proposed to leave.

"I've been busy since returning to the country, and only had some free time today."

"Although I really want to chat with you all day, I also know you have to go to school for classes in the afternoon, so I won't take up your time."

Lin Jie stood up to see her off, "Yes, it's hard to talk to our heart's content. Let's set another time later."

At the elevator door, Luo Shanshan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lin Jie, could you attend Pengyi's wedding?"

"I'll try my best."

Lin Jie gave an ambiguous answer, explaining, "You know, sometimes a doctor's time can't be self-directed."

"If an emergency patient comes, I'll have to treat them, and everything else will have to be put aside."

Luo Shanshan's face darkened but then she forced a smile, "Yes, a doctor's time truly isn't at their own command."

Just then, with a ding, the elevator doors opened!

Luo Shanshan walked in, turned around and said, "Goodbye, Lin Jie!"

"Goodbye, Shanshan Jie!"

Lin Jie kept waving his hand until the elevator doors slowly closed, blocking the view inside.

He realized that this time he and Luo Shanshan were truly saying goodbye.

At this moment, Lin Jie also understood, she chose this time to come over intentionally.

An hour of conversation, talking about familiar people and things, was just right, and also provided an excuse to say goodbye at any moment.

In the past hour, Lin Jie and Luo Shanshan talked only about the present and the past, not about the future.

As for their future, Lin Jie could only sigh!
